A close friend of Liam Neeson's late wife has issued his verdict on his reported relationship with Naked Gun co-star Pamela Anderson.
As the new comedy spoof hits cinemas today, it seems as if the two actors' romance has transcended the screen, with rumours circulating that they've just begun a relationship together.
Anderson may well be in for a pleasant surprise if a former model's X-rated comment about the Taken actor proves to be true, although she's already had a sneak peak during the strange threesome scene fans have spotted in the new remake.
It seems as if the two weren't just acting when their scenes got a little too hot for their intimacy coordinator, and that Neeson is in only his second public relationship since tragically losing his wife, Natasha Richardson, back in 2009.

The Wild Child star sadly sustained a fatal head injury while skiing in Canada, but after 16 years, it seems as if her friends are more than supportive of Liam's new relationship with Pamela.
Bravo host Andy Cohen is a long-time friend of Natasha's and he gave his blessing during a recent interview with the captivating co-stars.
He said: "I, and all of the friends in this circle, are very much stanning whatever this is.
"As I was telling him at the [Naked Gun] premiere party, I go, 'Liam, [Pamela] is an independent woman, just like Tash was. She loves to cook. She has her own thing going on. She has two boys. I mean, this just works, and you know.'"
He also spoke positively of Pamela and her recent rejection of her 'sex symbol' status, which has seen her forgo makeup at all public events.
Cohen added: "She is a formidable human being, Pamela Anderson. She really is. Like what she's been through and how she kind of reclaimed herself and redefined herself."
The budding relationship has seemingly been on the cards ever since filming began, with Neeson admitting that he'd fallen in love with the Baywatch star.
He said: "I'm madly in love with her. No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She's funny and so easy to work with.
"She's going to be terrific in the film."
Pamela meanwhile had downplayed the 73-year-old's chances at first, describing him as a 'forever friend' and suggesting that they're relationship was 'professionally romantic', but it seems as if his Irish charm has done the trick.
The Naked Gun is available to watch in UK cinemas now.
